Any news on Frank Alexander?

[Cyberjag]

Does the new drug policy affect his suspension?  I haven't seen any news on this, just curious.

[PantherWake]

I have the same question. Hopefully someone has the answer

The goal was to get welker back for manning. Everyone else be damned

Supposedly this was for suspensions on tests taken after March 2014.  Alexander was suspended in May, so it's going to matter when the test he took was.

[CatTower]

"Two sources told “Outside the Lines” Friday that Gordon’s latest violation is the result of marijuana being found during a drug test. One source said that Gordon received a letter in early winter from a league physician stating he had failed a test. A second letter, informing Gordon that he faced a 16-game suspension but had the right to appeal, was sent in late April.

Gordon had drug-testing problems in college as well. He was dismissed from the Baylor Bears after being suspended twice for marijuana use. He transferred to Utah but didn’t play there after failing another drug test."  http://thebiglead.com/2014/05/09/josh-gordon-failed-another-drug-test-faces-long-2014-nfl-suspension/

 

 

Going by this, it appears Frank Alexander should be available to play.

This was all an elaborate scheme so Welker could attend Burning Man.

I'm not sure but it might depend on the amount of drugs he tested positive for.

I thought he was PEDs, which I didn't think is changing. Someone remind me what he tested postive for please.

I had thought so too but I looked it up and all it said was he violated the substance abuse policy.

[L-TownCat]

I thought it was PEDs as well. Can't find any confirmation tho.

[Mr. Scot]

Person said Alexander isn't affected by the changes.

[t96]

Person said Alexander isn't affected by the changes.

So we can expect Frank to play next game?

[Panthro]

Meaning he is still suspended

I wish welker was busted last league year then Alexander and gordon would be back as they would have changed the rules in his favor

When Welker's was first announced it was "PED's".

 

It ended up being Molly or Adderall. I don't know what Alexander tested positive for? Was it creatine?
